WOULD THURMAN ACCEPTf

The Democracy of Ohio holds its State Con-
vention On the goth Of this month, and 1t is
currently reported that the managers OF the
organization have determined to run Mr..
Thurman for Governor. II is hardly probable
that Mr.. Thurman will consent to stand.
There are three cogent reasons which will
lead the public to believe that he cannot
be induced to be candidate. Whenever he
has been interviewed Of late Mr.. Thurman has
emphatically asserted that he was out OF active
politics and intended to remain out in the
interest Of younger men and Of his own COM
fort. That Is one reason. Then again MIR.
Thurman as sagacious man must realize that
the reason why the Democratic machine Is
talking Of placing his name at the head OF tho
ticket this fall Is not because the machine de-
sires to honor him but because 1t has forlorn
hope which it desires to have him lead. That
